Downtown Residents:

The National Folk Festival is coming to Downtown Salisbury September 7-9, 2018. This event is unprecedented for Salisbury and we could not pull this off without your partnership! We wanted to reach out to all of our Downtown businesses, employees, residents, etc and share the event scope and footprint. You may see some disruption in the weeks leading up to the Festival, but the included map and grid will cover all the information you need to know.

Parking Lot Closures and Relocations
